What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[DMC5180]

Wait, what is that?

It's a one off " cigarette lighter socket stopper" The OP CAD modeled it and had made on a 3-D printer. We have one of those machines at my work for rapid prototyping. You make some really COOL stuff with them.

It's Funny though, I initially was thinking it was a Handle Bar End Cap for the New Delorean Bicycle.

Replaced evaporator, short hose, accumulator, etc. Ready to tighten all fittings and vacuum aircon system next weekend.

Very, very nice!

Tried to find it on their site, but guess it's not for sale anymore?

Heh thanks!!
I don't think I made it visible to the public, but I can send you the files if you want! Have you got Solidworks?

washed and polished her up. Drove her all day yesterday. Have a new optima yellow top installed. I LOVE driving that car. Anyone who says that a 10" sub is too much for the cabin space dosent know what they are talking about. DAMN does that system sound good. Just wish i could have moved the battery to the trunk space and had 2 10" subs installed

She ran an absolute treat with only three issues:

1. Little to no vacuum to the booster (made for very tough 45 minute drives!)

During third shakedown cruise on Sunday, plus subsequent garage testing since, I have confirmed plenty of vacuum on the line itself plus conducted pressure tests with the (new) booster. No problems there.

When I can get a mate over (my wife is nearly full term so she can't fit in to push the brakes for me) need to further narrow down why I have to shove the brakes so darn hard for them to (barely) work... something up with the callipers perhaps?

I went out to do the bolt down roof fix to Red and install the box of stuff I got from DMCH yesterday. I got the roof out, took the Tpanel off and took off the electrical cover plate. I cleaned of all the rtv and then the rain suddenly started to pour. It was cloudy but wasn't threatening rain. I had to hurry up and RTV the plate back on. At least I was able to locate a leak that had been bugging me. Unfortunately I didn't have time to patch the hole before it started raining. Sometimes I hate living in the south.

Found one of my new AC hoses was rubbing on the brake hardline bracket near the drivers side rear wheel. Tied it back and put a rubber guard on it. Thought I had all those lines tied back but missed that one.

Wish my new radiator had arrived because today temps did not even hit 80 degrees. Oh well, got a few home projects done.

Installed the short hose and accumulator [receiver/dryer] into the air conditioning system and pulled a vacuum on it. After 30 minutes, showed -5 in. Hg. Must still have a leak.

Lost track of the wiring for the low-pressure switch. Worried a bit. Swore more.

Rebuilt 3 of my CV joints (having done one only about 2 years ago due to a ripped boot). Shafts look great, nice and clean/shiny with almost no wear on the joints. Used Sean's trick of putting a little RTV on the lip under the big end of the boot to form a leak-proof seal under the clamp.

Amazingly, this is one of the first jobs I tackled when I first got the car. It seemed like such a big deal at the time. I did these three remaining ones in maybe 2 hours, with a ton of attention paid to removing all the old grease and shining the joint components. This car will make a mechanic out of me yet....

Removed the intake manifold, replaced the water pump, cleaned the valley of death and put it all back together.

It was actually a much simpler job than I expected (even the pipe of agony wasn't difficult) and thanks to the walkthrough in the how-to section, it was very easy. The most difficult part was actually removed the rear cover off the old water pump. One of the bolts was completely striped and I had to cut the head off with an angle grinder.
I plan on replacing the radiator tomorrow.
